Dear Mr. Bradley,

I commend your interest in helping to alert the public to this potential
danger, however such statements should contain correct information to ensure
this isn't just some fearmonger trying to make themself (in)famous. The
dangerous compound you cite, dichlorodifluorocarbonmonoxide (Cl2F2CO) does
not exist because it can't- no such compound can have such a chemical
structure! Perhaps this is an error- if so please state what the correct
compound is. Furthermore, there is no website listed to verify your
statement or claims. Please make sure to list the website URL you refer to
so others like myself can research this claim for ourselves.

Best regards,
Paul Shin, Ph.D. (Chemistry)

I figured this out rather quickly! Some folks like to have a reason why this
type of hoax is just that, a hoax- as proof. I have exposed many chemistry
based hoaxes on the internet and find that sometimes the folks who
post/perpetuate these hoaxes are actually not aware of this since they are
not that knowledgeable about the chemistry and do so out of honest
consideration for others. Believe it or not! I prefer to be factual and
point out the fallacy in a polite way assuming this to be the case. Some
folks have said I am too nice about doing this, but I like to think that
folks here- especially in this newsgroup- are decent people who have a real
vested interest in helping others. Isn't this why we teach?

Thanks John for pointing out the point I probably didn't make clear enough
though!
